I hope this doesn't turn into another one of those "tax the rich" because they can afford it threads. Paying the same percentage on a higher amount of income is fair enough. I don't agree with all the loopholes. I do believe that getting screwed over because you make more money than the masses is against the constitution. No wonder people look for loopholes. We should all pay the same flat tax, no loopholes, with a minimum tax requirement based on personal income. Hard work and sacrifice deserves reward.

It really sucks to think that when I get into 6 figures that everyone would believe that I was born with a silver spoon and deserve to pay a higher percent than they do. 37% is ludicrious!
